Outside Yunzhou City, the Chinese army was densely populated, and the fighting spirit soared into the sky.

The world-famous Yunzhou City is located north of Taiyuan and within the territory of Liao. This place was originally the territory of the Han people. In the chaos of the various countries fighting before the founding of the Northern Song Dynasty, it was occupied by the Khitans taking advantage of the chaos. The Song Dynasty tried its best for the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun and never had the chance to recover this place.

At this time, the garrison of Yunzhou was Yelu Ding, a descendant of the Khitan royal family. He led his troops to station here. He had fought with the Song army many times over the years and could be called a powerful general.

There were not many defenders in the city, only more than 4,000 people. The other Liao troops had been taken away by Xiao Xiaoxian and lost all in the decisive battle with the Chinese army, leaving the Youyun states empty, making it difficult to protect the cities from being captured by the enemy.

The Chinese army that besieged Yunzhou outside the city had gathered more than 100,000 people, surrounding the entire city. Their commander was Luo Dacheng, the Khan of China.

Immediately outside Yunzhou City, surrounded by a large army, Luo Dacheng looked at Yunzhou City from afar, and couldn't help but feel emotion in his heart. The goal that the Song Dynasty dreamed of for many years was in front of him at this time, as if he could get it with his hand.

Beside him, the only one who can stand on par with him is the beautiful queen of the Uighur Kingdom and the majestic Princess Mayunna.

In order to cooperate with Luo Dacheng's battle, she raised all the troops of the country and attacked the Liao territory, breaking the stubborn cities one by one, gradually approaching Yunzhou, joining forces with Luo Dacheng, surrounding the city with high walls, and ordered her subordinates to take strict precautions and prevent a person from leaving the city.

More than 100,000 soldiers were already ready to wait for the order to attack the city, and rushed forward and killed a big battle.

Even if Yunzhou City has high and thick walls and extremely strong, it is just a sign of weakness in their eyes. King Khan has a powerful siege weapon given by immortality. No matter how strong the city wall is, it can easily be overturned and exploded. When a large army pours into the city, how can the only thousands of Liao soldiers in the city fight against the powerful Chinese army?

The Liao soldiers on the city looked at the densely populated Chinese army outside, and were so scared that their faces were pale and their lips were blue, and they were angry and frightened.

The news from afar has reached Yunzhou. At this time, everyone in the city knew that Xiao Xiaoxian was defeated and killed, Youzhou City was besieged by the Song army, and the Khan of the China Kingdom led more than 100,000 troops to sweep across the road. Everyone who refused to surrender would suffer. Now look at the power of the army outside the city, with the weak defensive power in the city, how can they resist their attack?

The extremely powerful Liao Kingdom was obviously at the end of its journey and had no chance to turn around. The two powerful enemies in the north and south attacked at the same time, which was enough to completely destroy its final dying struggle. The Liao soldiers and the people in the city began to worry about their own destiny and consider their future prospects.

Countless people wanted to escape from the city and beg for surrender to the Chinese army. However, Yelu Ding had ordered the city gate to be closed and no one was allowed to enter and exit, which made everyone full of resentment. In order not to be a slave, many people and the great clans were already secretly contacting each other, plotting to launch a riot, attacking and killing the Liao army in the city, and connecting the Chinese army outside the city into the city. In this way, the Chinese Khan, who was born in the Han Dynasty, should not have acted too ruthlessly against the people in the city and demoted them to slaves, right?

There was a desolate atmosphere above and below the city. The Chinese soldiers lined up in formation outside the city, all of whom were itchy, but there was no order to attack the city. Only many infantry troops ran forward and behind, preparing for the siege.

The wind blew across the city, and the tall suspension bridge suddenly made a squeaking sound, slowly falling downwards, and landing towards the wide moat.

On the top of the city, a large number of Liao soldiers turned the winch and slowly placed the suspension bridge on the moat. Then, the heavy city gate opened, and a group of Liao cavalry rushed out of the city, crossed the city gate, and headed towards the Chinese army outside the city.

This was already the last cavalry in the city. In the previous decisive battle, Xiao Xiaoxian transferred most of the war horses and cavalry in the city and destroyed them in the northwest of Youzhou, making Yunzhou City unable to hold on.

The one who led this cavalry was Yelu Ding, the commander of Yunzhou. After Xiao Xiaoxian sent a lobbyist to the city, he thought for a long time and finally made up his mind to determine the fate of all the guards of Yunzhou.

His face, full of fatigue and frustration, was filled with fatigue and frustration, and amid the eyes of countless Chinese soldiers, he rode his horse towards the Central Military Office of China, came to Luo Dacheng, turned over and dismounted, bowed in front of his horse, kowtowed hard, and said in a stern voice: "Mr. Yelu Ding, pay homage to the king! Please let the king beg you, so that the general can lead his army to surrender the king!"

Luo Dacheng's ancient Jing Wubo's face showed a slight smile, nodded and agreed, agreeing to his request to surrender.

A large number of Liao cavalry behind Yelu Ding dismounted and kowtowed to Luo Dacheng, then turned around, waved flags into the city, and ordered them to also surrender.

The city gate was wide open, and thousands of Liao soldiers came out of the city one after another, lined up on both sides of the city gate, throwing all the weapons in their hands to the ground, and they were all dejected, but they were secretly glad that they didn't have to face so many vicious enemies and fought to the death.

The sound of a majestic horn sounded, and countless Chinese cavalrymen rode their horses, stepped across the suspension bridge, entered the city gate, and rode on the streets of Yunzhou, quickly occupying every strategic location to prevent the remaining Khitans in the city from resisting.

The city of Yunzhou was peaceful. The Han people, who occupied the majority, hid at home and cheered and celebrated. Although they did not dare to go out to anger the Chinese army, they also knew that as residents of the surrendered city, they would not be arrested and slaved.

The Great Khan Luo Dacheng of the Chinese Han Dynasty took his Uighur beloved concubine and walked in Yunzhou City. Looking at this famous city, he smiled faintly, but his heart couldn't help but feel ups and downs and full of joy.

After being ruled by the Khitans for more than a hundred years, this famous city finally returned to the hands of the Han people.

...

Both the largest cities in the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun were in a fierce battle on Youzhou City. The blood of the soldiers of the two tribes kept spraying on the scarred city walls. The shouts of shouts, the sound of weapons hitting, and the screams shook the world.

Countless Song soldiers were flying under the city, rushing towards the city wall like a tide. The ladder was put on the top of the city. The Song soldiers climbed up hard, waving swords and guns, and fighting desperately with the Liao soldiers guarding the city.

The sharp blade swung away and slashed heavily on the enemy's head. Blood burst out and sprinkled on Song Bing's helmet. The Liao soldier, who was covered in blood, screamed sternly, and cut down the steel knife desperately, slashed the Song Bing, rolled down the ladder, and smashed the heads of his companions.

Rolling wood and rocks, he kept throwing down from the city, smashing the Song soldiers under the city wall into a crack in their brains and their liver and brains. Blood was sprayed everywhere on the city wall. After a long and fierce battle, the Youzhou city wall was stained with blood and bright red everywhere.

The catapult kept roaring, throwing huge rocks onto the city walls, smashing the Liao soldiers there to pieces, and blood flowed out from under the rolling stones and flowing down the city tower. The catapult standing in the city was also throwing stones outside, smashing the rushing Song army brigade, smashing a large number of Song soldiers to the ground, screaming sounded throughout the wilderness.

On the front line of the city wall, there were Song and Liao soldiers waving swords and guns, roaring desperately, fighting each other. The Supervisor roared loudly in the rear, driving the soldiers forward and charged forward. Anyone who dared to retreat would be killed fiercely by the Supervisor to warn those timid soldiers.

Such a fierce battle has lasted for many days. The weak defensive power of the Liao soldiers in the city was approaching the brink of collapse after experiencing hundreds of thousands of Song troops' consecutive attacks. The crisis of insufficient troops made the Liao army guarding the city very difficult. Even if a large number of militias were mobilized to guard the city, it would be difficult to protect such a large city.

The Empress Dowager Xiao Nojin of the Great Liao Kingdom was wearing armor and went to the city to supervise the battle himself. He waved a horse whip in his hand, stood at the top of the city and roared loudly, urging the troops to take turns to guard the city.

What she hated the most was the hateful Han people. Although they were conscripted as militias, they flinched in the battle and hid behind and did not dare to face the Song army that siege the city. While fighting, the enemy troops who siege the city were still shouting, "The brothers and feet cannot be killed by each other", to shake the militia's determination to defend the city, making them even more unwilling to fight to the death.

Seeing the enemy gradually attacking the city wall, Xiao Nojin almost clenched his teeth. He waved his knife in a rage and cut off a Han general who was unfavorable to supervise the battle. He ordered his personal guards to come forward to supervise the battle, and killed several Han militias who refused to fight. This forced the militia to come forward to fight hard, and for their own lives, they fought fiercely with the Song army, barely blocking the Song army's offensive.

Cao Yong, the commander of the Song Dynasty army, stood outside the southern gate of Youzhou, looking at the empress dowager of Liao who was supervising the battle in a majestic and powerful manner on the city, and sighed in his heart.

He commanded more than 300,000 Song troops to attack the city for so long, but he had not made any progress at all. He was really ashamed of the Emperor of Song. The war reports in the distance kept coming. Luo Dacheng had led his subordinates to swallow up a large number of former lands of the Liao Kingdom. Most of the sixteen Youyun prefectures were under his control. Now he was approaching Yunzhou again. I am afraid that when he was leading troops to attack Youzhou, he was already attacking Yunzhou.

If Yunzhou falls, the Song Dynasty's plan to recover the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun would be just a fantasy. If you can no longer conquer Youzhou, what is the face of standing in the court, facing the emperor and a group of colleagues and ministers?
